Thanks for your feedback, I'm tagging this bug pending thus.

They do not harm. (They are mostly ignored, except by the createsymlinks
command or if the name is given that is not the codename of anything but
the suite of exactly one distribution).

What can harm are old symlinks in dists/, as reprepro will happily
follow symlinks there (as I like to store them on different places).
Perhaps I should add some tests to warn if multiple distributions point
to the same place.
